Dear Doctor,

I checked myself with an Optician, ENT Surgeon, Internist and Neuro Surgeon. They all prescribed tablet for gidiness (cinnarizne 25 & mirtazapine 15mg) which did not seems to work till now.
I would appreciate your help
thanks,

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flickering of eyes.
The common causes for flickering are stress and excessive intake of caffeine containing drinks.
Applying cold compression and relieving stress and taking multivitamin supplements helps in most of the tines.
Usually flickering is a benign condition and no serious underlying neurological cause is found hence no need to worry.


Thank you
